  • There's been much made of Google's "censorship" in China. Tom has looked at this previously, and he now has further analysis which is sceptical of many of the claims made. Fons also has a realistic look at the issue while Andrea takes issue with Google. Fons also says the Chinese filters are leading to capacity problems and slowing the net in China.

  • One hell of a dinner party in Hong Kong.

  • There are times not to act like a tourist in Taiwan.

  • Buddhist or mouth-piece? Or perhaps a different kind of reincarnation?

  • Opening up and acceptance are a two way street for South Korea.

  • Jodi wonders about North Korea's amazing ability to generate gymnastics.

  • One in 20 Japanese girls have had forced sex. And if you're going to be a pervert, it helps not to publicise it on the net.

  • Interesting look at 6 possible alternative futures for North Korea and thoughts on North Korea's threat and leadership.

  • South Korea's troops are fully deployed in Iraq, and some other Koreans are there too; but the deployment is turning Koreans into vampires...

  • A good look at what's holding Japan back and what can be done about it. Also a look at the shifting balance in Japan-US relations.

  • Joe invokes Japan's 11th Commandment.

  • Kevin says Koreans are the anti-Scots.

  • Arnie's due to visit Japan again and Lee wonders if he'll have time for moonlighting?
  • SE Asia

  • Sleeping with the enemy can get you fired in the Philippines.

  • Cambodian ethnicity and its Cham minority.

  • Miscellany

  • When you've finished touring Asia, try touring the world by blogs.

  • Michael Schumacher's a pussy.

  • There is such a thing as a free lunch, for wannabe bloggers at least. Make hay out of Adri's passing.

  • "It's not everyday you get the chance to encounter somebody who is both literally and figuratively fashion roadkill.

  • Jeff has an important product for men's hygiene.
  • NOTE: I'm toying with the idea of setting up an email notification list for when AbB is updated. Please let me know if you'd be interested in such notifications.

    Fixed thanks Matt. I blame Bill Gate's secret Mormonism.

    Just wanted to make you aware of The White Peril, a blog written by an American living in Japan. Pretty good stuff, although I can't say I always agree with him.

    I've got White Peril listed already; not everything makes every edition.
